Level 25 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Eelis Pärssinen raised to 280,000 in the cutoff and Jonathan Bowers then three-bet the pot to 920,000 in the small blind. It folded back to Pärssinen and he gave it half a minute before pushing all-in, Bowers called.

Eelis Pärssinen: K♦10♦10♣3♣ All in
Jonathan Bowers: A♥A♠6♠2♣

The J♦10♠9♦ flop gave Pärssinen a set, gutshot and flush draw. There was a sweat with the Q♠ turn as Bowers picked up the spades flush draw. However, it was Pärssinen who improved to a flush with the 2♦ river as he doubled for 980,000.

After the hand was over, chip leader Joshua Adkins told David Benyamine "I just wanted to tell you you were my favourite on High Stakes Poker".

Bowers chimed in with "you were my least favourite" to which Benyamine replied "I believe you".

Level 25 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

In a single-raised pot with 200,000 each in the middle to the Q♦8♥3♦ flop, Kabeelan Rajamurthy checked out of the small blind and Oshri Lahmani bet 280,000 in the big blind. Sonny Franco as the initial raiser called and Rajamurthy folded.

Lahmani potted the 4♥ turn for 1,280,000 with few chips behind and Franco tank-folded.

"I have a very strong hand," Lahmani said and exposed the A♥Q♥10♦6♦ for top pair and two flush draws.

Franco responded "kings with king-high flush draw" but never showed his cards.

Manh Nguyen then raised to 220,000 and Rajamurthy called on the button. Nguyen continued for 500,000 on the 8♥4♠3♣ flop to take it down.

"Top set," Lahmani in the small blind said and Nguyen replied "I had outs".
